Atorkor: The Chief of Atorkor and Dosukofe, Torgbe Dosu-Adaku VIII, has commended The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Government of Ghana, relevant state institutions, and individuals whose efforts contributed to the delivery of humanitarian relief items to flood-affected families in Atorkor and Dosukofe. The relief items were distributed on Saturday, August 29, 2026, providing support to families still recovering from recent floods that devastated the two communities.
According to Ghana Web, the donation by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints included boxes of sardines, cooking oil, bags of rice and corn, sanitary supplies, and other essential provisions. Speaking on behalf of the Dosu-Adaku Royal Family, Torgbe Dosu-Adaku VIII expressed profound gratitude to the Church for its intervention and support for the affected communities. The Chief emphasized that in times of difficulty, leadership is often defined by actions rather than titles, praising the Church for its laudable efforts.
He further acknowledged the Government of Ghana and relevant state agencies for facilitating the release of the high-value consignment and ensuring the relief items reached the intended beneficiaries. The Chief highlighted that the intervention extended beyond providing food and essential items, serving as an example of effective cooperation between institutions and communities during crises.

He also recognized the unity and commitment of the Dosu-Adaku Royal Family, specifically mentioning key individuals for their dedication to the relief effort.
Madam Dzifa Agbetepey, founder of Royal Women in Cinema Ghana and CEO of Streamline Y and D Innovations, played a crucial role in coordinating the efforts to deliver the relief items. Her responsibilities included engaging relevant institutions, managing documentation, and facilitating the movement of the consignment from Accra to the affected communities. The Chief commended her for her involvement and dedication, demonstrating that leadership sometimes requires behind-the-scenes efforts to achieve results.
The distribution of relief items brought visible relief and joy to beneficiaries who suffered significant losses during the floods. Beneficiaries expressed gratitude to all parties involved, acknowledging the support as vital to their recovery. Torgbe Dosu-Adaku VIII reaffirmed his commitment to advocating for the welfare of Atorkor and Dosukofe residents, stressing the need for ongoing collaboration to address the challenges of flood-prone communities.
